I have two laptops. It was easy to make my first laptop run at 50hz easily. Thank you.
On the other hand, I can not run my second laptop at 50hz. It is a HD5500 graphic driver and 1366x768 resolution laptop. Currently, there are two options; 48hz and 60hz. I tried almost everyting. Exporting the exe and running the EDID, starting with native LCD then change it to manual included.
Could you please help me on that?

The only way using a higher refresh rate would break the backlight is if the TV has a design flaw and was overdriving the backlight because of the refresh rate, but the panel supports 120 Hz, so that shouldn't happen.

I never added more resolutions to my monitor, and when i launched a game my monitor got into 3840x2160, then i gone to resolutions on windows and there was an option to go to this weird resolution, but 1080p was selected as the recommended resolution.
A few research and i got into your program expecting to just delete this resolutions but they weren't there, here is a few screen captures of my problem:

Personally I am trying to work around Dell limitations on 2nd screen resolution.
I am connecting a Philips 272B8QJEB with a native 2560x1440, 60Hz resolution to a Dell Inspiron 5593, with an Intel Core I5-1035G1, through HDMI. Intel UHD graphics.
The resolution of the 2nd screen is limited to 1920x1080. And for the life of me, I can't get around it.
I tried using CRU, adding the native resolution as a detailed resolution, tried restarting the driver several times, but it seems I am getting something wrong.

Could you please give me some direction? I would greatly appreciate it, as the reason for buying this new monitor was the extra monitor space. Thanks!

Make sure the extension block has an HDMI support data block. CRU can't read extension blocks with Intel GPUs, so you'll have to delete any default extension blocks and manually add a CEA-861 extension block with an HDMI support data block, or you can import the hdmi.dat file.

That's weird. A 1080p monitor normally wouldn't define such a resolution. I was thinking maybe DSR/VSR was enabled, but that shouldn't happen on a laptop with Intel/NVIDIA switchable graphics, and that would use GPU scaling, not something the monitor would see. If the monitor is defining the resolution, it's probably in the extension block, but CRU can't read extension blocks with Intel GPUs. You'll have to delete the extension block, and if the monitor is using HDMI, you'll have to add a CEA-861 extension block with an HDMI support data block for 144 Hz to work, or you can import the hdmi.dat file.

Yeah bro, this is super weird This is freaking me out, thx for the reply
I have to go to CRU and Just import this hdmi.dat file? my monitor is coneccted with an HDMI 2.0 cable
